A Korean Air jet made an emergency landing in the Philippines. This incident happened on October 23, 2022, on a Korean Air flight. The flight was operated by an older A330-300. There was a flight from South Korea to the Philippines that was stopped. The first 3hr30min of the flight went as planned, as the plane proceeded south over the East China See and Philippine Sea, before finally landing in Cebu. Heavy rain and poor visibility made for bad weather on Sunday. The pilots decided to go around each time the plane tried to land because they weren't able to land safely. At this point the plane entered a holding pattern in hopes of getting better conditions. The pilots tried to land a third time around 40 minutes after the previous attempt. I wonder what their fuel reserves were like after the flight was already an hour longer than normal. The plane didn't stay on the runway, but it did land. It overran the runway before stopping. There is a lot of damage to the plane in the images. The angle at which the plane came to a stop appears to have caused the nose gear to collapse. The plane will probably never fly again, but the more important question is if everyone got off the plane. ๐จ #BreakingNews #JustIn #AvNews ๐จAn airplane operated by the Korean Airlines Airbus A330-322 operating flight HL7525 skidded off the runway while takeoff at MACTAN CEBU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT due to bad weather.

The pilots told passengers to get ready for an emergency landing when the third attempt was made, according to a user on the flight. Emergency exits and slides were used when the plane stopped.
I was a passenger on this flight. Emergency exits were opened and emergency slides were deployed for us to exit the plane.

A Korean Air plane had an accident at the airport. The weather conditions weren't good, and the plane performed two go arounds, before entering a holding pattern and trying to land again. The plane ended up off the runway due to the fact that it didn't go well.
I hope that everyone makes it off alive and without major injuries.
Accidents like this remind us that flying is an incredibly safe form of transportation.
What do you think about the Korean Air incident?
